2008 Nissan Sentra Air Bags

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle in front abruptly depressed its brake pedal causing the driver to crash into the rear of the vehicle. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged but no air bags were deployed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY WARNING THE OWNER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT. OTHER YEARS AND MODELS ARE AFFECT BY RECALLS AND I BELIEVE THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE.

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH WON'T GO OFF. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE... OVER 10 IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH A 'COIL' THAT WENT BAD

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY ON DASH PANEL. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT GO OUT. HAS BEEN RESET BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER DRIVING WITHIN SHORT DISTANCE. CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED IN FRONT AND I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE ARE AFRAID AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. WE DO NOT BELIEVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD FAIL SO QUICKLY. ALSO SEE ONLINE WHERE MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCEING SAME PROBLEM. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

MY SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, OR IT COULD BE SITTING RUNNING.CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT REPAIRS

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS ON AN OFF.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE RESET, SHE DROVE OFF AND A MILE LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I SEE OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I GOOGLED HOW TO RESET IT, DID IT MYSELF, BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT COMES BACK ON.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED AT PATPECK NISSAN OF MOBILE THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASNT PART OF THE RECALL BUT IT IS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND WAS TOLD IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

AIRBAG LIGHTS FLASHING SO AIRBAG WONT WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCEDENT NEED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ANYTIME

HAVING ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE ONLY CORRECTION THE DEALER ISSUED WAS TO REPLACE THE SEAT WITH A NEW OR USED SEAT. A NEW SEAT WOULD BE OVER $3,000 AND A USED ONE WELL OVER $700 PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE SEAT COVERS. ERROR CODE B1018. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND WARRANTY HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FAULTY HARDWARE, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD GRACIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS WITHOUT CHARGE. THERE ARE AIRBAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS OPEN FOR OTHER NISSAN MODELS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT INCLUDE MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED! AT THIS POINT I MAY BE FORCED TO ACQUIRE A USED SEAT AT A LOCAL JUNK YARD, BUT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY THE SENSOR IS WORKING IN THE USED SEAT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. AGAIN, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED RANDOMLY BLINKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID "FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND DRIVERS AIRBAG ASSY - REPLACE (B1049 DRIVERS AIRBAG OPEN)". THE COST WAS $1,468.32 NO INCLUDING TAX, ETC AND SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR BOTH PIECES TO BE FAULTY.

MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PAST AND I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER. IT STAYED OUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. LATER WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN, I LEARNED HOW TO RESET IT MYSELF USING THE IGNITION KEY AND I DID SO WITH SUCCESS. THE LIGHT WOULD STAY OUT FOR AT FIRST A MONTH OR TWO, THEN IT BECAME A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW THE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY RESETTING IT WILL ONLY LAST FOR LESS THAN A DAY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT IT IS A FAULTY AIR BAG. THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSIS/INSPECTION AND FOUND CODE 81134. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE SEAT ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $3,400 TO DO SO. IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR A 2008 NISSAN WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT? THE AIR BAGS FOR THIS MODEL ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT I'M QUESTIONING IF THEY SHOULD BE.

AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUE. ON OCTOBER 14, 2015 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT MCGRATH NISSAN BECAUSE THE "CS AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING" MORE SPICIFLY THE CODE READOUT WAS B1134 FOR SENSOR FOR AIR BAG FRONT LEFT SIDE. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ENTIRE [AND VERY EXPENSIVE AT $3000] AIR BAG MODULE MUST BE REPLACED. NISSAN IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK OR NOT IN A FRONT LEFT SIDE CRASH. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND WAS EXPECTED TO BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE END OF 2015. THE PART WAS 87651ZE90B FRAME ASSY-FRONT SEA AND I PUT DOWN A 50% DEPOSIT ON THE PART. IT IS NOW MAY 30, 2016. NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO FOLLOWED UP WITH NISSAN, OCCURRED. THE ANSWERS VARRIED. IN SOME OF THE CALLS STATEMENTS WHERE MADE THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING SUPPLIER ISSUES. IN OTHER CALLS I WAS GIVEN A NEW DATE FOR ARRIVAL OF THE PART, AND PART HAS NOT YET ARRIVED. IN MY LAST CALL MCGRATH NISSAN WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE PART SHOULD ARRIVE IN APRIL. IT IS NOW LATE MAY AND STILL NO PART. IN JUNE 2016 I AM REQUIRED TO TAKE MY CAR TO EMISSIONS TESTING (SUBURB OF CHICAGO, IL) AND I AM ANTICIPATING FAILING BECAUSE OF THIS PART.

DRIVER AIRBAG HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. BAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED BUT I'M AFRAID IT WON'T IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $800 TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR IF I AGREE.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS TURNED OFF AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. LANCASTER NISSAN SAYS IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THE DEALER SAYS THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT AND/OR THE SEAT IS BENT AND WON'T BOLT TO THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT TWICE. THE NEW SEAT DIDN'T SOLVE ANYTHING -- THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL FLASHING ON MY DASH TO THIS DAY.
